Changes in the Avengers Storyline

Since that announcement, significant changes have occurred. Marvel ended its collaboration with Jonathan Majors, who portrayed Kang the Conqueror. This development forced Marvel to considerably alter the existing storyline, contributing to the delay of Secret Wars.

Current Status

Although originally announced for release today, Avengers: Secret Wars remains in production with a new release date set for late 2027, keeping fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter of the Avengers saga.

"The biggest was that Marvel severed ties with Kang himself, played by Jonathan Majors. That forced a total shift in where that current storyline was going."
